1. Do you know any building that did not have a builder? Yes? No?
2. Do you know any painting that did not have a painter? Yes? No?
3. Do you know any car that did not have a maker? Yes? No?
If you answered “Yes” to any of those statements… please give details:______________________…

Didn’t someone already send a hatemail in phrased almost exactly like that?

This is where other religions fall by the wayside. I can empirically back up the FSM in conversations that are hours long, and yet every hate-mail that comes in seems to follow almost the exact same rhetoric.

Let us thank his noodly appendage for blessing us with a religion so true to the fabric of the universe itself that it cannot be denied.

1: Ever seen a beehive, or an anthill?
2: Look out the window, silly person. Even better, climb a mountain and enjoy the view, or look at the sky.
3: Cars are a recent HUMAN invention. Does a whale need wheels? Does a bird have brakes?

Typical narrow-minded human-centric thinking. Nature was here long before us, and will be here long after we are gone.

Ah…we’ve seen this before. It gets a little old, actually. Of course, we’re all supposed to think for a second, have a religious epiphany, and become born-agains, right? Why can’t the universe just exist, without some mystical cause? You, I guess, would allow that jehovah can just exist, forever and always, but not the universe. Doesn’t make any sense to me.

On the other hand, the FSM has always existed, and always will. RAmen.

First of all, you deserve congratulations for the proper grammar, punctuation and coherency, as well as allegory in your questionnaire. But the larger issue is the fact that you have missed the point- this is a religion. We DO believe that the car has a maker, so to speak. A noodly one.
